“The Big Catch” recalls the days when Lewes was the menhaden capital of the world.

Decades before the Doo Dah Parade originated, this boy rode a float going down Savannah Road in Lewes.

A glass image of this historic photograph of the Zwaanendael Women’s Club building will grace the entry of the Lewes History Museum.

Baseball teams in Lewes date back to 1865.

Only nine spaces remain for the sponsorship of historic glass images in the entryway of the new Lewes History Museum. Selected as the best from thousands of vintage photographs maintained by the Lewes Historical Society, the images feature street scenes, historic buildings, beaches, fishing and 19th century Lewes people.

Sponsoring an image for $2,500 will support the final stage of the museum in construction of its children's discovery center.
